This year, a total of 112 paper submissions were received. The review process was therefore a delicate and challenging task for the program committee members. Each paper was carefully read by at least three reviewers, and submissions with a program committee member as a (co-)author by at least five reviewers. The review process concluded with a two week web discussion process which resulted in 32 papers being selected for presentation. Unfortunately, there were a number of good papers that could not be included in the program due to a lack of space. We would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers to CHES 2006.
In addition to regular presentations, we were very fortunate to have in the program three excellent invited talks given by Kazumaro Aoki (NTT) on ``Integer Factoring Utilizing PC Cluster", Ari Juels (RSA Labs) on ``The Outer Limits of RFID Security'' and Ahmad Sadeghi (Ruhr University Bochum) on ``Challenges for Trusted Computing''. The program also included a rump session, chaired by Christof Paar, featuring informal presentations on recent results.
We are very grateful to the program committee members and to the external
reviewers for their hard work. Special thanks are also due to the members
